WARNINGS

Always make sure your child is
secured properly in a device that is
appropriate for their height, age and

weight. Child safety restraints must be
bought separately from your vehicle.
Failure to follow these instructions and
guidelines may result in an increased risk
of serious injury or death to your child.

All children are shaped differently.

requirements of law. Ford recommends
checking with a NHTSA Certified Child
Passenger Safety Technician and consult
your pediatrician to make sure your child
seat is appropriate for your child, and is
compatible with and properly installed in
your vehicle. To locate a child seat fitting
station and CPST, contact the NHTSA toll
free at 1-888-327-4236 or locate NHTSA
on the internet. In Canada, check with your
local St. John Ambulance office for referral
to a CPST or for further information,
contact your provincial ministry of
transportation, locate your local St. John
Ambulance office by searching for St. John
Ambulance on the internet, or Transport
Canada at 1-800-333-0371
(http://www.tc.gc.ca). Failure to properly
restrain children in safety seats made
especially for their height, age, and weight
may result in an increased risk of serious
injury or death to your child.
